At twenty-two, Hailey Parker is a single mom just trying to survive her new job as a secretary at the elite Bailington Academy. She's messy, bright, and full of heart-everything Professor Ellena Thorne has worked hard to shut out. Ellena is brilliant, reserved, and emotionally off-limits after a painful divorce. But when Hailey crashes into her world-literally-what starts as irritation turns into something far more complicated. Two women. One impossible attraction. And a slow-burn journey toward love, laughter, and maybe even healing.

Talia Woods and Mia RedField are sworn enemies meant to hate each other. But when they end up having to spend more time with each other due to their families, could something change? Or will they always stay rivals? And in the amount of time of figuring out themselves, will it be too late to be together? Could something or someone get in the way? ------------------------------ Tw: Suicidal thoughts, language, offensive slurs, bullying, mild violence, and sexual content.

Maverick Winters has always had a flair for dramatics, a knack for tripping over her own feet, and a long-standing best friend named Reagan, who makes her heart do annoying little flips. Now in their final year of high school, things get... complicated. One accidental kiss, a round of spin-the-bottle chaos, and a whole lot of confusing feelings later, Maverick is starting to realize she might want more than just friendship from the girl she's known since they were kids. Too bad Reagan has no idea what she wants-except maybe a movie date with the baseball team's golden boy, and maybe, probably, a little more time with Maverick. Surrounded by an eclectic group of queer friends, nosy adults, Maverick navigating messy emotions, awkward confessions, and the terrifying idea of asking her best friend to be her girlfriend.
